Bought a Raptor E700 V2.

At 1900 today I found I could not dial in enough precomp to make any difference on pitch pumps. Tail made a racket on every maneuver. It holds well in a tight tail-down funnel but couldn't get it to stick on collective.

I am checking that my blades are in fact 115. I would love to put speedups on. When I cranked it to 2050 the tail held a little better, but still whined, and I heard no kind of buzz.

Checked every single part and bolt in the tail to make sure it's hanging in there.

Kind of annoying. I would definitely like it to be a simple matter to order the speedups and try them.... this waiting for TT/HRP to restart the flow is getting kind of annoying.

I just wish somebody would give us a time frame. Where is thunder tiger? Where are the reps? Where is Nick Maxwell? Any news would be great.

I run 115's and take off almost exclusively from grass. If I had a paved runway, it'd be even more reason to run longer tails!

One hard landing tail blades are toast on pavement where grass digs divot

I heard some positive news, but nothing definite, esp. about time frames. I'm encouraged, but nothing to share.

Flying carefully....

I received a couple tail speed ups about 3 weeks ago with an order but the rest of my speed up kits from them are on back order. They figure next week the TT order should be in and start going out to dealers. There are not many holes left in the E700 parts but as always it is key parts that run out first. I would imagine it to be no small deal for Thunder Tiger to completely restock a distributor for North America.
